had these made
« on: 05 March 2012, 22:44 »
i got one of them cheap ebay catch cans a while back and they only come with 9mm and 15mm fitings and the golf uses 19mm fitings pipe etc for this mod now there were many ways i could of got round this problem but wanted to do it tidy and use all 19mm pipe instead of reducing it from 19mm to 15mm etc so i had an engineer make me some 19mm fittings out of stainless and got to say im well happy with them its not a huge thing but i just thought i would share  :smiley:

They look spot on, you should see if they'll do a few pairs of them for a better price as I'm sure a few people here would want them!!!! I know I would!!

Take it this is purely for aesthetic reasons as the bore of the fittings remains the restrictive part.

I can whip these kind of things out no problem at all, would like confirmation of the thread, looks like 1/4bsp, how many pairs are needed?
